SESSION DETAILS / WHAT ATTENDEES WILL LEARN

In this session, we will discuss what reinsurance is, what types of reinsurance exist, and the various benefits that can be generated through reinsurance. We will also discuss how cedents (the insurance companies entering into reinsurance arrangements) receive reserve credit from their regulators, and will touch on some of the key offshore jurisdictions that reinsurers are domiciling in, along with the reasons for these domiciling decisions. At the conclusion of the session, we will review a case study so that attendees can discuss practical ways that reinsurance is leveraged.
